One meter high

When they went out, there were two people and one fox, and when they came home, there was only Zhu Qi. Tu Rong was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the children, and decided to go home after eating snacks.

Strangely, even though there was only one person missing, the room immediately became empty, a little scary.

Zhu Qi stared blankly for a while, shook his head, and began to count things.

Although he only stayed for a few days, Yuan Yue had already bought him a lot of things.A complete set of toothbrush cups, couple slippers, and even towels are couple suits, and there are all kinds of clothes in a mess. I don't know how Yuan Yue bought them.

As for Zhu Qi's personal belongings, they are pitifully few.A backpack can hold all his belongings, and he can leave at any time with the bag on his back.

Zhu Qi opened the cabinet, took out from his backpack, and finally took out a small jewelry box.

The appearance of the box is a bit old, but the exquisite shape can still be seen.It contained his most precious things. Even when he was living on the street, when he was most embarrassed and sad, he never touched the things in the box.

Zhu Qi stared at it for a long time, then pressed the hidden button of the jewelry box, and the lid popped up slightly, revealing the pendant inside.

The platinum pendant is slightly larger than a coin, with intricate and exquisite auspicious cloud patterns engraved on it, surrounding the three characters in the middle.

These three characters are the name my mother gave to Zhu Qi, and they were written in her own handwriting, with beautiful handwriting and gentle strokes.

It's a pity that Zhu Qi's fate is not as expected by his mother.He smiled, and suddenly remembered that his mother once said that he is her most important baby, but in the future there must be someone who will love him like her.

Mother told a lot of lies, such as her health will get better, such as father loves him very much... But these words are real and not adulterated.Zhu Qi gently closed the jewelry box.

In ten days, it will be Yuan Yue's birthday.

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhu Qi suddenly heard movement from the door.He hastily stuffed the jewelry box back into his bag and hid it deep in the cabinet before running to the entrance.

To his surprise, it was Yuan Yue who came back.

Zhu Qi was dumbfounded immediately, and looked at the time on purpose - that's right, at this time, it was almost 10 minutes before he returned home.

"You...forgot something?" Zhu Qi could only guess like this.Because if you count the round trip, Yuan Yue's stay at Zhu's house was so short that it can only be described as embarrassing.

"I'm going home." Yuan Yue smiled all over his face, "I originally wanted to go to see Manman's paintings, and then come back with you, but when I went, you had already left. I just played with Manman for a while. His The painting is very good, but it makes you a little ugly."

"Wait, didn't you go to Zhu's house?" Zhu Qi now suspects that Yuan Yue never went at all.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yue had an innocent face: "Go, brother, Uncle Zhu, and Zhu Yulin are all here. We drank tea together."

"Huh?" Zhu Qi felt incredulous, "And then?"

"After finishing the tea, I stood up and left." Yuan Yue said honestly.

"Gone? Did the others know you were walking straight home? They really didn't think you were just going to the bathroom?"

Yuan Yue tilted his head.

"It's useless to be coquettish and cute! I don't want to do that!" Zhu Qi sternly gestured at him with a cross.

Yuan Yue smiled and pressed Zhu Qi's hand, and leaned over to kiss his face.

"I miss you."

Yuan Yue's voice was just as warm as anyone else's, and Zhu Qi couldn't help but blush because of the heat. He pushed the person away a little bit, forced a straight face, and asked, "Zhu Yulin is very pretty, and he seems to like you too. , you are not tempted at all?"

"She's not you, how could I be tempted?" Yuan Yue thought for a while, "However, she is a bit strange, she is not very old next year, but her breath is very vicissitudes, probably because she has some kind of ancient legend about her. spirit."

This so-called "spiritual thing" is probably the exquisite heart with seven apertures.Zhu Qi thought to himself.Yuan Yue clearly knew about this, but he spoke in a calm tone. Is the opportunity Ji Guanqi created for the two of them useful?

Thinking of this, he asked, "What did your senior brother say?"

"Brother didn't allow me to mention the matter of breaking the engagement. He said he had his own arrangements, and he used words to block me. Sigh, you know I'm stupid. Brother doesn't want me to speak, so I can't get in a word." Yuan Yue was extremely aggrieved. up.

"For such a big matter as the dissolution of the engagement, of course we have to take it seriously." Zhu Qi could no longer maintain a serious attitude, and his tone softened at some point, "I know your heart, and you also know mine. This is enough Don’t worry about other people and things.”

"Then how can it be?" Yuan Yue opened his eyes wide, "You obviously cared a lot before!"

"I..." Zhu Qi wanted to say that today is different from the past, that he didn't really care much about it, that he could continue to keep this engagement...but damn it, these words were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a single word. not come out.In the end, he just smiled: "And then?"

"Then, I used a little spell." Yuan Yue waited for him to ask this question, and suddenly he looked proud of the prank, and said happily, "Senior brother said so many words, and his mouth dried up quickly. I let him I choked on the tea, and while he was coughing, I told Uncle Zhu about it!"

"...Huh?" Zhu Qi opened his mouth wide in a daze.

That Ji Guanqi... that Ji Guanqi who seemed to be inscrutable and astonishing, was dealt with by such a naive trick? !

"Then wish—how did he reply to you?"

"Oh, Uncle Zhu didn't like it, he was quite angry." Yuan Yue recalled, "I explained repeatedly that I have someone I like, but he still thinks that I don't like his daughter unless I marry Zhu Yulin as soon as possible. Otherwise he won't let me go."

Zhu Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked nervously: "Then what did you say?"

"Of course I refused. I haven't reached the legal age for marriage, how can I do something that violates the law?" Yuan Yue replied righteously, "I will marry you in the future!"

Zhu Qi covered his face: "According to the law, we can't get married either."

"There are always places where the law allows." Yuan Yue looked indifferent, fully interpreting what double standards are.

"I understand." Zhu Qi nodded, "No wonder they didn't even keep you for a meal. Did you get kicked out in the end?"

"How can you say it's rushing? After I finished speaking, the senior brother no longer coughed, but his face turned green and white-I told you before, my senior brother is not in good health-look at him In this way, I naturally left quickly and wanted to take him to the hospital to have a look. As a result, as soon as I left Zhu's house, my brother said that he didn't want to see me, and that I would shorten his life if I dangled in front of his eyes. For his For health considerations, I entrusted him to Jize, and then I took a taxi back." Yuan Yue said, "I called Jize just now, and he said that brother is already well, so there is no need to go to the hospital."

"You are really..." Zhu Qi wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart, and finally turned into a sigh, "Idiot. You offended Mr. Zhu and angered senior brother. What are you trying to do?"

"I want to break off the engagement." Yuan Yue said.

"This matter can obviously be taken slowly."

"You can't take your time." Yuan Yue looked at Zhu Qi seriously, "You will be sad."

Zhu Qi was startled, thinking of something: "Could it be..."

"I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but that time, you cried." Yuan Yue said sullenly, "I don't want to do anything that will make you sad."

——It was at that time that the two made their hearts clear, and Zhu Qi knew that Yuan Yue had only five years left to live, but he confirmed the person he would love for the rest of his life.

"Idiot, idiot, fool..."

"Why scold me?" Yuan Yue looked at Zhu Qi blankly, and immediately became a little flustered, "Why are you crying again? Did I do something wrong?"

"You're just crying!" Zhu Qi opened his slightly red eyes wide, and his eyes were full of charm.Yuan Yue was fascinated by it for a moment, and couldn't help but leaned over to kiss his lips.

With lips and teeth intertwined, Zhu Qi murmured something, as if he was pouring out his love words, but also as if he was reluctant to part.Yuan Yue tried his best to be gentle and enthusiastic, but still felt that it was not enough.

"Zhu Qi..." He whispered, but he didn't take the next step.

"Why, no?" Zhu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly provocatively.

"I'm afraid of hurting you."

"I'm not afraid of pain." Seeing Yuan Yue's forbearance and determination, Zhu Qi smiled slightly and whispered, "Besides... there are many ways to make us all happy."
